Officers on patrol are encouraged to proactively address issues in their assigned districts when they are not responding to a call for service. The Police Department also has a Traffic Enforcement Unit (TEU) which is deployed to areas with patterns of traffic collisions and violations. While the TEU does operate on a cost recovery model, patrol officers do not have any quotas for the number of tickets to issue.
In addition, an on-duty officer may direct traffic if a traffic signal is not in service or to redirect traffic at the scene of an accident or crime. This is done to maintain the safety of drivers, pedestrians and others on the roadways. However, police officers that you see directing traffic or providing security may actually be working secondary employment and are considered off-duty.
